@FoxbrushTailwag This sticker is great

They’re teaching the Bible in public schools in Texas and the Democrats are like, “We gotta do something about this Zohran guy”

Christian nationalism is really accelerating in the USA and “we have to fight the godless communists” rhetoric is exploding after several democratic socialist election wins. Democrats have pledged to put a stop to it, and by “it” I mean the progressive policies

@thedarktangent @torproject Supporting Tor is an excellent choice

@ryroo.bsky.social depression got hands

@KayOhtie @lexxy @HolosSocial I'm of the opinion that BlueSky deserves to "win" the popularity contest for folks that really want "old Twitter", so they can sponge up the people who will never get with the program.

Meanwhile, Fedi should continue to grow independently of whatever Bluesky does. Eventually ATProto will enshittify (especially if the US gov intervenes), and they'll repeat this digital nomad samsara in search of clout and social capital.

@lexxy It was architected by Bitcoin-pilled jacaksses who insist on global state.

You do not want global state in most systems.

@spiosra Who can say what the future has in store?

Healthy relationships are something that none of us, individually, ever really have control over. By definition, they are mutual.

Surely there are other things you have more of a say in, that might also warrant more time and focus?

@NohatCoder Not to my knowledge

The final scene in castle town is such a mood.

Seeing Susie and all the Darkners preparing to welcome Noelle, presumably at the start of Chapter 6, and want her to feel welcome. After all the events that happened so far.

And then when you juxtapose that with the Weird Route?

I can easily see why this was originally intended to release with Chapters 3 and 4.

The Deltarune developers did an amazing job building an emotional arc.

I'm excited to see what happens in the next chapter.

@KayOhtie Yes

@exec None of the problems in my life map neatly to ADHD symptoms

@exec Understand what, exactly?

That I would then have a label that the US medical system and health insurance system can use as a scapegoat if they notice it in my charts?

My life wouldn't materially change for the better, is all I'm saying.

@exec I'm not sure of anything these days, but it wouldn't do me any good to find out

@OctaviaConAmore Occasionally, https://soatok.com/fiction

I took a week off work hoping I'd feel more inspired to do creative things after a short break.

But I'm not.

I have like, a half dozen blog post ideas cooking whenever I feel like writing, but lately that hasn't been often.

I decided to outline a fictional story that I'd been cooking up (hence the poll a while ago), but the more I think about it, the less satisfied I am with the current structure, so nothing is actually written yet.

There's a bunch of work to do on my cryptography projects... but I have had zero motivation to touch any of them.

The weird part is that none of this feels frustrating. But I'm kind of meta-frustrated at not really having anything to show for my idle time, outside of playing a few video games (some with friends).

Be forewarned that I don't know how to navigate today's market. I count myself very fortunate to have a job that doesn't suck right now.

One of them was cool

Renembering that the cryptography puzzles I've attempted to contribute to DCFurs in past years went unsolved :(
